I am a mother of two adult children and a grandmother of two small children and a third one on the way due in May of 2011. Before I started my fitness journey (still is a working progress) I blossemed up to 209lbs. I felt so tired and we have 80 acres in the flint hills here in KS and I couldn't walk a quarter mile with out stopping and out of breath thinking my heart was going to pop out of my chest. My doctor kept telling me to lose weight and he put me on blood pressure medication. I decided then I had to do something since I was born out of a family with a history of heart desease, High blood pressure and diabetes and I was so grossly overweight. I have lost over 40lbs and my doctor was so amazed but still wanted me to get to my goal weight for my height, so I decided to become a coach and show people that if I can do it so can they. I have been doing so well on my workout programs I just want to be able to help people reach their fitness goals as well. Since I have became a coach I have been learning more about nutrition and seeing how bad the obesity problem in this country, I guess I never really paid attention to that when I was in that state of mind. Now since I am more aware of my own fitness and taking better care of myself I want to be able to touch other peoples lives and help them live better healthier lives for them selves.There are so many people that I have talked to about weight loss and I already have helped alot of people get on their right track to take back control of their lives or even just start for the ones that I have ran into that have never even gotten into a workout regimne. It took me a great long time to figure out what I needed to do to start my own fitness regimne and I found Beachbody to help me figure that out, since that day I have been doing very well and feeling so much better about how I look how I feel. There are some days I don't really feel like getting up and working out but I pull myself outta bed and think if you do not do this today just think of how bad you will feel tomorrow so that gets me going and after about the first 10 minutes of the workout I get into it and before I know it I am done for the day then I think wow I did it and I feel really great for making myself getting this workout finished and I can go and begin my day. There is nothing that feels as great as when you complete a workout when you don't feel like really doing one and actually making yourself get off your butt and doing it. Thats the mentality I have developed for myself since I have really been focused on working out and I really hope I can touch lives to help them realize how important it is to take responsibility in their own health. I know its going to be a challenge to get people to change the way they think about working out and changing their eating habits but I am up for that challenge and want to help.
